Performance issues
For the most part I was able to run Valorant very well but ever since I updated my Fortnite, my Valorant has gotten a lot worse. My fps has dropped a bit and I get insane ping spikes, going up to 7000 when I usually get around 20, making any mode unplayable. I have a low end laptop but I was still able to run Valorant smoothly before this occurred. I’ve uninstalled my Fortnite and re installed Valorant in an attempt to get it back to how it was before but the ping spikes still occur. Is there any tips to help reduce the performance or is this just a device problem?

the magnitude depends on ur wifi connection stability
